While not actually a Christian Speculative program, Defiance shows much promise as a Science Fiction TV show. There are plenty of twists and turns, unexplained mysteries, and a hints of some type of spiritual background among the various alien races who live in the town.
The show starts with a human and an alien racing across the barren landscape in a type of car often seen in post apocalyptic movies. They stop to investigate an ark fall, uncovering a treasure which will help them 'get ahead' in their life. They run into vicious bikers, escape, injured but alive, and run into the lawkeeper from Defiance.
They're taken in, cared for and get involved with the locals, pretty much against their will. There's a murder, an attack by an army and in the end, the human male is offered the job of lawkeeper.
Best of all, there is plenty of undercurrents, like a family feud between two powerful families, two sisters, one of which if the mayor, the other the local bar keep - brothel owner, and a Romeo-Juliet romance.
It will be interesting to see if the writers manage to pull off a tight action packed series with all the interesting set up elements in tact.
